St. Jude the Apostle celebrates Mother's Day tribute to Father Matthew Twiggs

Stockholm - Reverend Matthew Twiggs, Pastor of Saint John Vianney Church in Stockholm, New Jersey, first met Jennifer, Kristen and Melissa Henry when the sisters were students at Pope John XXIII Regional High School in Sparta, where Twiggs taught theology and supervised the schools SEARCH program, which encouraged students to grow spiritually and develop compassion for their fellow man. As their friendship grew, the girls asked Father Twiggs to promise to officiate at their weddings and to baptize any children that might result from their marriages, a promise he has kept over the past nine years, celebrating each of the three women’s weddings. On Mother’s Day earlier this month, he baptized Brennan McCoy, the tenth child of the three sisters for whom he has celebrated the sacrament. Included in the ten children Father Twiggs has baptized for the family are one set of triplets and one set of twins.
